Genetically Modified Crops Implicated in Honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder http://waronyou.com/topics/genetically-modified-crops-implicated-in-honeybee-colony-collapse-disorder/ Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH As the disappearance of honeybees continues, researchers are trying desperately to discover the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). General concensus at this point is that there is more than once cause and the latest culprit may be genetically modified crops. This is one area of research being neglected as mainstream scientists insist GM crops are safe. Webmaster's Commentary: We covered this topic before, and I observed that there was a huge rush to pin the blame on pesticides and mites, but that the pesticides and mites had been around for quite a while but CCD has started up just when GM crops were introduced into farms, and that bees fed with non GM pollens were immune from CCD. There is a great deal of money at stake, and the history of the behavior of American pharmaceutical companies when a lot of money is on the line is not encouraging. There is a great deal of money invested in GM crops, and hence a great deal of pressur eto NOT investigate whether pollen from GM crops is the cause of CCD, even though GM pollen has already been shown as harmful to benign species. "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." ----Albert Einstein http://www.freedomofspeech.netfirms.com/
